She didn't get the Power Suit until she proved herself to the Chozo spirits by giving up her life for what she's destined to do. She proved herself, by shooting a mirror of herself, destroying her human form and becoming the fully powered Samus Aran.
The suit she wears before that, and the suit you see in Prime after you lose all your upgrades wasn't designed by the Chozo; It's a Federation Combat suit. The Chozo, being fully aware of the future, created the Power Suit (giant shoulder pads), the Varia Suit and the Gravity Suit as the ultimate upgrades, along with weapons and weapon upgrades, making her nearly flawless in battle.
In Prime, (which takes place right after Zero Mission) she has her shoulder pads and spikes, after being hit by the energy beam, she loses all the upgrades that the chozo gave her. And she's back to square one, her combat suit and Beam cannon.
There was also a comic that showed dozens of men wearing combat suits, fighting pirates on k-12, they look almost exactly like the suit Samus wears before the upgrades.
The Chozo were already manifested as spiritual beings when the meteor hit over 200 years ago from Prime's time-line (when Samus arrives). The scribes make clear reference to that. They also say and I quote: Chozo Lore: "Some of us ran to our original homeworld on Zebes, others stayed to fight the great poison (Phazon) but in our current forms there is little we can do. All we can do, is put our hope in to the Newborn (a word used to describe the human race)."
Pirate Data: "There's no telling where they (the Chozo) went, but the ruins they left behind are older than our instruments can tell. These ruins will be scavaged for what little they have to offer and will then be destroyed to make way for our glorious empire"
The Chozo exist everywhere and at every time but they can only watch. They have no powers or abilities but they know and see all. The only time the Chozo can manifest their powers is through Samus Aran which is exactly what they planned from the start. "our warrior" etc. Some of the messages were made while Samus was on Tallon 4, they were communicating to her to guide Samus.
Chozo Lore: "This newborn has so much wieght on her shoulders. Does she know why she must fight? Does she understand who she is? Does she remember us? Only time will tell. The worm (evil) grows stronger."
And finally, the Chozo do not age. The spirit that was sent to her manifested a physical form of a weak old man because that is how they view themselves; humble and physically drained.
Dude, trust me. There's no one else in the world that knows Metroid like I do. Except the creators... but just gimme a few more years.
